Probably like many independents I had some business down time during the pandemic. I didn’t want to lose billable hours so I created projects for myself (that my client greenlighted). One of the projects was to comb through sites that offer FREE assets (photos and illustrations) and download appropriate ones into my image archives. Here are my three favorite sites for free stuff…and who doesn’t like free stuff! www.unsplash.com, www.pexels.com and www.pixabay.com. Nowadays I search for images there first before (if needed) doing a deeper dive into fee-based stockhouses.
Maryellen is our number-one go-to consulting designer and she is an invaluable asset to my marketing team at The Brooklyn Medical Center. Not only does Maryellen handle jobs big and small, but she is a savvy advisor on our direction and strategy as expressed through our design. I can’t imagine doing the lift of our busy department without her.

Pandemic. What’s to say. All hands on deck to help TBHC during this difficult time. Maryellen prepared posters and banners relaying how the hospital is adapting its policies, as well as stay-safe tips. TBHC also launched a weekly TBHC Reaches Out: Coronavirus Concerns e-newsletter (shown here) that Maryellen prepares in Mailchimp. Not surprisingly, the e-newsletter gets a high percentage of opens and so far no subscriber has opted out.
Here’s a recent issue of Keeping Brooklyn Healthy, The Brooklyn Hospital Center’s community newsletter. It was an ideal time to tweak the look so it coincided with the newsletter’s expansion to eight pages and the decision to produce it quarterly vs. biannually. In this issue, articles included an update on the construction of TBHC’s physician pavilion, how TBHC provides excellent GI, obstetric and pediatric care, a photo essay highlighting the many community events TBHC has recently hosted, and much more.
